<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3278694, member: 46237&quot;]Ok guys I&#039;m back home and had a chance to take some photos of my gift.</p><p><br /></p><p>First up, my Santa got me a 2015P Dime WDDR-002 ANACS MS66 FSB</p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t familiar with this variety, so I looked it up. The WDDR-002 is a variety with leaf doubling where it overlays the torch. I was able to spot it with the naked eye. Apparently there are even a few varieties of the doubling of this leaf. A nice example of an interesting variety I didn&#039;t know about before.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866299[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Santa also got me a 1996P Half Dollar with a nice obverse die crack going from the neck to the rim, and some strong clashing on the neck and cheek (I wasn&#039;t quite able to capture it here but it&#039;s very nice). My Santa must know that I have a side set for coins with interesting strong clashes and die cracks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866302[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Santa also got me a 2016P Nickel with one of the most humorous clashes I&#039;ve seen on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866301[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the best I can do with my cell phone, but Jefferson&#039;s eyes are very strongly clashed with the base of Monticello. In hand it&#039;s quite striking to see. I love it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866300[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And if that wasn&#039;t already enough, my generous Santa also gave me a Korean 2017 1 Clay Zi Sin Gallus 1oz silver round, because who doesn&#039;t love silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]866303[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I did some reading on this - the Zi Sin Gallus is a Zodiac sign, and this is the first produced in the series. I love the design and will most likely keep up with this set as the others come out. Turns out the name &quot;Clay&quot; was selected for the denomination to evoke feelings of earthiness, grounding, malleability. Very interesting! Thank you Santa![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
